Generate code using live database schemas in Cursor

The `get_media` tool provides Cursor's AI agent with real-time anime and manga structures directly inside your coding environment. This MCP Server lets your editor generate precise TypeScript types based on live data. Your editor uses the live payload to construct robust data models. This ensures your custom anime tracking app integrates perfectly with the actual API data.

Update your personal watchlist from the editor terminal

The `save_media_list_entry` tool lets your Cursor agent modify your personal watch history while you test your code. You can update your list status without switching contexts to a web browser. If you need to clean up test entries, the `delete_media_list_entry` tool removes records instantly. This keeps your profile clean while you debug your custom integrations.

Retrieve production staff and studio details instantly

The `get_studio` tool pulls studio metadata directly into Cursor's chat panel to help you build complex relational queries. Your agent analyzes real production houses to map out backend schemas. Running this MCP Server allows Cursor to pull staff records with `get_staff` to populate your local database seeds. You get real, production-ready seed data with one prompt.

Setup guide

Set up AniList GraphQL MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the AniList GraphQL MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent AniList GraphQL transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the AniList GraphQL tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
